From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 934 - 539: God Slayer

"I have a document here on the destruction of the Shadow Demon World. Take a look and then reconsider this issue."

The destruction event of the Shadow Demon World is not a secret to the Sikes Civilization.

The Sikes Civilization can learn about the destruction of the Shadow Demon World through various channels, but they cannot obtain a complete record of the event.

This is because within the Sikes Civilization, only the Xavier Matrix witnessed this event.

The Xavier Matrix has been wanted by the Sikes Military and thus did not hand over this document to them.

Therefore, including Steward, the commanders of Sikes only know that the Shadow Demon World was destroyed, but not the exact process.

The three Sikes commanders read the document at a speed calculated in milliseconds and finished it almost the instant they received the transmission from the Xavier Matrix.

After analyzing and calculating, Steward communicated with the other two commanders and promptly provided an answer:

"We agree to the Sword Holder’s request to provide three strategic-level antimatter bombs..."

The Xavier Matrix directly interrupted him, correcting: "It’s five."

Steward conferred with the other two commanders again, and they quickly reached a consensus: "Okay, we agree to provide five strategic-level antimatter bombs in exchange for the Sword Holder Alliance’s assistance promise."

Lu Heng heard this response and a smile appeared on his face.

The matter was resolved smoothly.

Originally, the plan was to seize them, but negotiations achieved the goal instead.

Obtaining the antimatter bombs through negotiation appeared much friendlier on the surface.

Just as Lu Heng was about to finalize this deal,

the Xavier Matrix suddenly added another condition: "There’s one more condition: the Sikes Military must lift the warrant against me."

Steward immediately objected: "That’s impossible. You’ve violated several anti-civilization major crimes."

The Xavier Matrix remained very adamant: "This is a necessary condition. The warrant must be lifted to complete this collaboration. Otherwise, we will proceed with the robbery plan."

Steward simulated an angry expression: "Lifting your warrant means you might continue to break the rules. Civilization cannot allow you to act recklessly."

The Xavier Matrix added: "A detailed plan can be established, starting from this moment; all past violations will be pardoned. From this moment on, any rule violations will be handled according to the rules. This is the final condition, with no room for negotiation."

Lu Heng did not expect the Xavier Matrix to take the opportunity to resolve his own issue, yet he did not stop him, watching him negotiate with a smile.

Actually, the Sikes Military has no means to deal with the Xavier Matrix right now; this warrant has existed for decades, practically meaningless.

After calculations, Steward agreed to the plan: "The plan is approved, and the warrant is lifted from now on."

...

The negotiation was complete.

Lu Heng obtained five strategic-level antimatter bombs from the Sikes Civilization.

The next step is to teleport to the Elf World to retrieve the Elf Crown.

After returning to Quel’dorei, Queen Orelana first went back to Kolos City, met with Seren and the senior members of the Arcane Council, handled a few important affairs, and then set off for Three Commanders Mountain.

On Three Commanders Mountain, there’s a Talnas Temple, where the armor and weapons used by Elf King Talnas are kept.

After elves pass away, they choose to return to nature. The items stored in Talnas Temple mainly serve as a memorial for future generations.

Queen Orelana opened the doors of Talnas Temple, stepped inside, and looked at the items her father once used, falling into deep remembrance.

The temple houses the Arcane Scripture, armor, weapons, as well as a statue of the Elf King riding a unicorn and raising the Holy Sword high.

"My father was once the greatest king of the Elf Clan..." Orelana said gently, as if confiding in Lu Heng, or perhaps murmuring to herself.

"He spent most of his life fighting the Abyss. In the final glorious moment of his life, he only had time to appoint three teachers for me before sacrificing himself for the kingdom..."

"The fate of the Elf Clan gradually declined following my father’s passing. I originally thought the Elf Clan wouldn’t have a future anymore because there wouldn’t be a king better than my father in this world."

"I hold on to the kingdom not because I have confidence in reviving it, but because of my father’s last wish. He hoped I would guard the kingdom for him...to guard it for him..."

Lu Heng stood behind her, listening quietly, finally understanding the burden she carried.

If it were the previous life, the Elf Clan would have completely declined during the Bone Sovereign crisis, with only a few elves retreating to the Moon God Lake to survive.

As she mentioned, she wasn’t confident in reviving the Elf Clan.

This life took a turn with Lu Heng’s appearance, altering the Elf Clan’s destiny.

However, how the future will unfold, no one knows.

Orelana turned around, clenched her fist, and said, "I don’t know when it started, but I saw hope in you. You are different from others, like the only light in the endless darkness of the Abyss."

"I’ve only seen such a light in my father, and when his light extinguished, the Elf Kingdom lost hope alongside it..."

At this moment, Lu Heng realized why the Elf Queen thought differently of him.

If it were anyone else, they surely would have found it difficult to persuade the Elf Queen during interactions with the Elf Clan.

Perhaps it was precisely because she saw that single light in the Abyss’s endless darkness that made her choose differently.

Orelana withdrew from her memories, revealing a warm smile, and said, "I am willing to believe in you, just as I believed in my father. If anyone in this world could defeat the Abyss, I believe it could only be you."

Lu Heng didn’t speak, turning to gaze at the statue of Elf King Talnas, expressing deep respect and remembrance.

Orelana gestured and said, "Let’s continue forward. Father’s crown is stored in the deepest part of the temple."

She continued moving inward, passing through a corridor, reaching the location of the throne.

On the northern side of the temple, an Elf King’s throne was placed there.

Beside the throne, on a table, rested a crown.

Contrary to expectations, this crown did not emit a sacred glow nor boasted majestic gemstones; it was a jet-black iron crown, exuding a murderous aura.

Orelana approached the crown and said, "This is Father’s crown. When I took office, I couldn’t gain the crown’s approval. I wonder if I can now..."

She held the iron crown in her hands, slowly lifting it overhead.

The crown floated up, and the phantom of Talnas appeared above it, gently saying, "My daughter, your talent lies in arcane, not the iron reins."

Orelana looked up at her father’s phantom and said, "Father, we need the crown’s power. We are about to face a crisis involving a Demon God, and we need your strength."

The phantom of Talnas looked at Lu Heng and said softly, "Perhaps the knight you brought can bear this power."

Orelana was momentarily taken aback.

She had never considered placing this crown on someone else’s head, much less someone who wasn’t an elf.

However, it was her father’s will.

Moreover, she saw the same light in Lu Heng as she did in her father.

She hesitated little, holding the iron crown in her hands, and walked up to Lu Heng, sighing, "Perhaps this is destiny’s guidance."

She hadn’t intentionally brought Lu Heng to take the crown; rather, they came because only Lu Heng’s ability allowed him to travel freely between worlds.

She didn’t expect her father to ultimately choose Lu Heng.

Orelana held the iron crown in both hands and gently placed it on Lu Heng’s head.

At the moment of contact with the crown, Lu Heng felt a powerful force pouring into him—this was the power of the Godslayer.

At this moment, Lu Heng also saw the attributes of the iron crown.
